This is a new standard for home studio preamplification. Huge range of features There are loads of great features that set the ART TransX. Whether its the Jensen input transformers that help prevent RF interference or the low noise low THD discrete audio path that helps set the sound quality apart. There are many technical tricks inside the TransX. If you want to own a preamp that can seemingly do it all – from the phase reversal switch to the ground lift function on each channels outputs.
